Pho De Nguyen - San Bruno

I highly recommend trying the vegan pho at this restaurant if you like eggplant and prefer a lighter option. The portions are generous and I often have leftovers to take home. I'm sorry to hear about the negative experience of another reviewer, but I have always found the staff to be gracious and helpful during my visits here.

The item was labeled as vegan, but it actually contained non-vegan ingredients. It was disappointing to unknowingly support the use of animal products and also not have a meal. The restaurant does not prioritize their vegan customers and I would not recommend trusting them.

I had high hopes for this restaurant based on the reviews, but unfortunately, the experience was far from satisfying. I ordered the vermicelli noodle salad and was disappointed to find that it only contained noodles, fried tofu, and a minimal amount of lettuce. There were no vegetables, cilantro, or mint, and the lack of sauce was the biggest letdown. Just a couple of packets of hoisin and soy sauce did not make up for the absence of a proper dressing. The side of imperial rolls did little to enhance the bland overall meal.

My wife and I live in San Francisco but we love to come down to San Bruno for the vegan pho and curry. Good, comforting Vietnamese food combined with fast and friendly service make for a great experience.

The best Vegan Pho is hard to come by and we are so excited that we finally found it! We live in the East Bay but we WILL be back. Chef Phong came out to chat and talked about expanding the vegan options.
